So, one of the main things about what I do right now is getting the actual audio and video that ill be using. Most AMVs out there you’ll see are low quality or they will have subtitles. Usually when you see a music video its in high quality and there aren’t any sub text. I’ve found a reliable source to get my clips in HQ and no text so it’ll be the best possible quality. Now finding the music is pretty much the biggest step. Once you’ve chosen a show or movie, you wont be using any audio form the actual video, all the audio will be from the one music track. Personally what I like to do is find a song that would fit the clips, or find one that fits the clips but also; the lyrics relate to the clips. So once you have the song and clips you prefer you can move on to the next step.
